When our web page is viewed full screen, everything looks ok. But when it is
viewed in a reduced-sized window, the page does not maintain the same look.
Instead, sentences are broken up into multiple lines and it's hard to read.
Why is this happening? Any suggestions? You can view our page at
www.mcgrath-associates.com and you'll see what I'm talking about. Thanks for
your help!

1. You've set the main table to a width of 100% which means it automatically shrinks or expands to fit the browser view
port.
Set it to a fixed width which will force a horizontal scrollbar in smaller view ports.
Although your page is wider than 760 pixels, 760 is the commonly recommended size.

2. You've used the space bar to position content on the page. This is a no no.
You need to create containers ( cells within your table ) to hold the content.

Repeat after me:
The spacebar is not a design tool, the spacebar is not a design tool.
Repeat until you remember it.
Remove all of those spaces (leave one between words).
Then use the proper tools to place your content (CSS, tables, DIV
layers).
